...Peter P.A. Smyth Backgound: Even a minor iodine deficiency can result in adverse thyroidal health consequences while excess iodine intake can also result in thyroid function disorders. One source of iodine is seaweed which as a foodstuff is enjoying an increasing profile in Western countries. Apart...

... of DICER1 has been described in different human tumours; however, there is insufficient data on the risk of thyroid cancer in the presence of germline DICER1 variants, particularly when focusing on the background of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). For this purpose, we ascertained the presence of DICER1...

... probabilistic sensitivity analyses in future research to minimize potential bias in epidemiological studies. We aimed to investigate the variation of thyroid-related outcomes derived from ultrasound (US) and laboratory analyses in a repeated measurements study. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-five volunteers (13...

...Evangelos Karvounis; Ioannis Kappas; Anna Angelousi; Georgios-Marios Makris; Eva Kassi Objective: Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type of the thyroid gland is a rare indolent malignant disease encountered in approximately 0.5% of patients...

...Taha Yusuf Kuzan; Ceren Canbey Goret Aim: Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a reliable, minimally invasive diagnostic method with high sensitivity and specificity in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Our aim in this retrospective study was to determine...

...Toru Takano Overdiagnosis is the detection of a disease that does not do any harm to the patient throughout the lifetime. Thyroid cancer in children is a rare disease; however, since 2011, many children in Fukushima, Japan, have been diagnosed with it, and the number has shown a steady increase...

... reflect an autoimmune reaction against antigens constitutively expressed by the thyroid and by the extrathyroidal affected tissues. According to another hypothesis, the so-called Kriss’ hypothesis, soluble autoantigens released from the thyroid would reach the affected tissues, where they would become...

...Nooshin Zargari; Maral Mokhtari Objective: The diagnosis of thyroid tumors is based on histologic features, but the distinction between benign and malignant thyroid lesions is somehow difficult, especially in lesions with a follicular pattern. Thus, ancillary studies, such as immunohistochemistry...

... absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. Reduction of melanin in the eyes results in reduced visual acuity, photophobia, and nystagmus. To our knowledge, the coexistence of albinism and thyroid autoimmune diseases has not been reported. Case Report: A 37-year-old male with OCA came to our...

...Sze May Ng; Mark A. Turner; Shivaram Avula Background: Thyroid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging tool and provides good evaluation of thyroid anatomy, location, vascularisation, and echogenicity. The aim of this study was to assess thyroid function and thyroid volume in extremely preterm infants...

...Elena Sabini; Ilaria Ionni; Roberto Rocchi; Paolo Vitti; Claudio Marcocci; Michele Marinò Background: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is believed to be the consequence of autoimmunity against antigens that are present both in the thyroid and orbital tissues. Massive release of thyroid antigens causes...
